Apple’s next tablet to be iPad HD

Apple's next tablet will be called the iPad HD instead of the iPad 3, CNET reported.

A developer who's previously provided reliable information with respect to things Apple and otherwise tells us the next iPad uses the HD moniker instead of going with "iPad 3"

That reportedly matches up well with a report from Gizmodo last week (and an item just posted on VentureBeat) that included an alleged list of upcoming cases from Griffin, listing the product as "iPad HD (3)", as well as corresponding usage reports from an application called Tapatalk that included "iPad HD" among the list of devices using it.

The owner of iPadHD.com has told CNET that he registered the domain before the original iPad was announced in 2010. He said he's never been contacted by Apple about the domain in the years he's held onto it. That reportedly includes the last few weeks.
